Forum Rules

These are the rules every member is required to follow.

These rules cannot address every possible situation, and they will develop and change over time. The main purpose of this forum is to share knowledge, information, and experiences, while promoting ongoing education and sound practices surrounding GLP-1 agonists and fostering a supportive and welcoming environment. Let's try to do it with the least amount of drama.

  1. POST CONTENT AND DISCUSSIONS
    1. GENERAL GUIDELINES: Content should be topical and appropriate to promoting meaningful conversation, information, education, experiences and knowledge, and similar themes related to GLP-1 and related treatments, health, wellness, fitness, etc.
    2. BE NICE (a/k/a DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE): Witty sarcasm and healthy, meaningful debate (sometimes peppered with a little "Tough Love") are one thing, but there is no reason for intentional arguing, harassment, bullying, name-calling, etc. Everyone is expected to act like adults. If you don't like someone or something they're saying, just move along peacefully. You can disagree without being disagreeable. Being nice is usually a lot easier and less stressful than being a jerk.
    3. DISCUSSION OF RESEARCH CHEMICALS IS RESTRICTED to the Research Lab section of the forum. Posting permission in that section requires a minimum member level of "GLP-1 Apprentice", but is viewable to all members and guests.
    4. POSTING RESTRICTIONS: Members may be subject to posting restrictions at various times and for various reasons. All new members begin with the most restrictions which are gradually reduced over time and in accordance with forum policies and procedures. All members, whether new or not, are required to abide by any posting restrictions and agree not to try to circumvent those restrictions in any way.
    5. NO SHILLING OR INCENTIVIZED REVIEWS: Discussing various vendors including personal experiences and reviews in the appropriate sections is encouraged, but any posts which the mods or admins determine or suspect to be shilling or otherwise untrustworthy will be deleted and risk a ban. To avoid conflicts with this rule, do not post any vendor links, reviews, recommendations, etc. until you've been a member for at least 30 days and have achieved "GLP-1 Apprentice" user status.
    6. NO LINK BEGGING: Requests for links, invitations, or information regarding other websites, Discords, Telegrams, Facebook, MySpace or any other platform is strictly prohibited and may result in an immediate ban. If you joined this forum just to ask for a link to the SUPER TOP SECRET Askholegram page because you think it holds the key to giving you all of the answers without you having to do any of the work, please save both the staff and yourself the time and hassle and look elsewhere.
    7. LINK SHARING: Sharing links to other websites, pages, and platforms is generally allowed subject to the following limitations:
      1. Sharing such link(s) is not the only reason for joining.
      2. Links are not primarily commercial in nature (reasonable exceptions apply for links to sites like Amazon or other mass-market retailers, however affiliate links are prohibited).
      3. Preapproval required: Links to Group Testing pages, Vendors who are not forum sponsors (including so-called "Group Buy" vendors), and similar sites must be approved before they may be posted. Use the Contact Us form to submit a request before posting.
      4. Links to other discussion platforms related to GLP-1s and peptides are generally permitted. This is a large community with numerous sites dedicated to harm reduction, education, testing, and information sharing and the administration believes there is room for all of them.
    8. AI CONTENT: Any content created, enhanced, or otherwise manipulated or modified by AI must be disclosed clearly above such content. Posting content entirely created by AI is discouraged. This disclosure is not required if AI is used solely to translate a post (or any part of a post) to/from a different language.
    9. NO POLITICS: There are plenty of places online to discuss how you feel about politics—this isn't one of them. Topical discussions about current events, government policies, and regulations/access/availability/pricing concerning these life-changing medications is permitted as long as they do not stray into discussing personal preferences, parties, personalities, or politicians. Please walk this fine line carefully, and stick to "just the facts".
  2. PERSONAL CONDUCT
    1. BE NICE: This is worth repeating, and should never be forgotten.
    2. RESPECT, DIGNITY, & DECENCY: The wonderful world of GLP-1 agonists attracts people from around the world, from various cultures, backgrounds, and unique medical journeys. Treating each other with respect, dignity, and decency is required at all times by all members. Period.
    3. PROHIBITED BEHAVIORS: BULLYING, SHAMING, HARASSING, THREATENING, DEGRADING, INTIMIDATING, and similar behaviors will not be tolerated. This includes—but is not limited to—discrimination based on race, gender, orientation, disability, religion, or body size. The forum maintains a zero-tolerance policy for "body shaming" or attacking others for their personal health choices. Remember that what one may perceive as a "joke" may be insulting or offensive to others, so stop and think before posting anything that could be perceived negatively by anyone.
    4. CIRCUMVENTING RULES ("CHEATING"): Any conduct or content that the owners, administrators, or moderators deem to be for the purpose of circumventing ("getting around", "avoiding") these rules is prohibited.
    5. NO UNSOLICITED MESSAGES: Direct messages (DMs) to other members, especially offering to buy or sell anything or communicate any kind of commercial content, are prohibited. Please report anyone who does this. DMs are a privilege, and may be revoked.
    6. NO DOXXING: Revealing any kind of personal information about anyone (member or otherwise) will not be tolerated. Personal privacy is paramount in this hobby and there will be zero tolerance for violations of this policy.
    7. OPSEC: This hobby requires a degree of "OPerational SECurity" with regard to certain information, methods, and practices. Please do not post pictures containing packaging, labeling, shipping/tracking, banking/payment details, or any PII (personally identifiable information) about yourself or other parties (including vendors).
    8. NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING: While medication and research chemicals are the primary concern behind this policy, all B/S/T activity outside of approved vendors is absolutely prohibited and will be shown zero tolerance. This rule extends to ANY commercial activity on this forum including solicitation of members for financial gain in any way.
    9. KNOWLEDGE, SAFETY AND HARM REDUCTION are at the very foundation of everything discussed here. Everyone is expected to do their best in consistently promoting these concepts and values as part of every discussion and to call out and report anything that violates these core tenets.
  3. FORUM OPERATION
    1. EDITORIAL DISCRETION: All content is subject to the editorial discretion of forum owners, administrators, and moderators, and subject to editing or deletion at any time, and for any reason, without explanation.
    2. MODERATOR AUTHORITY: Dedicated moderators are tasked with enforcing these rules and all other forum behavior. Never question or argue with a mod publicly. If there is an issue with a mod or a specific action, contact the Administration via DM for review. The moderators have the complete trust and support of the forum and are empowered to act on its behalf.
    3. USER NAMES: User names are subject to review and approval and/or rejection, and may be edited or changed at any time. Users wishing to change their user name may submit a request via the Contact Us form.
    4. ACCOUNT DELETION: If a user wishes to have their account deleted, they may submit a request via the Contact Us form. Requests are generally honored within 5 business days. Account deletion includes replacing and reassigning the attribution of any content posted under the user's forum user name with a randomly-generated generic name (e.g. "deleted-user-123"), the erasure of all profile information including login credentials, email address, location, profile photo/avatar, "signature", direct/private messages, etc. Public content posted by the user is not deleted unless it contains PII (Personally Identifible Information), or anything else forum administration deems appropriate to delete.
  4. VENDORS/SUPPLIERS/SPONSORS:
    1. VENDOR REGISTRATION: All vendors must first review and follow the instructions on the Vendor Information page before attempting to conduct any business here. Do not attempt to make any posts before becoming a forum sponsor!
    2. VENDOR RULES: Vendors who are forum sponsors have a separate set of rules regarding their behavior, however all rules here not related to commercial activity apply to all sponsoring vendors as well.

This forum is meant to be a free-speech zone with regard to open, civilized discussions about GLP-1 agonists and associated products, but the Administration will act against content that violates that philosophy or conflicts with the core values of this forum. While the free exchange of information and ideas may appear messy at times, the preference is to let most situations that aren't in violation of these rules work themselves out; please try to approach everything here with that understanding.

If you believe that someone is violating any of these rules, there is a "Report" button on every post that can be used to report such behavior.

Thank you for your time and cooperation in following these simple rules to keep this a warm and inviting destination for the miraculous life-changing GLP-1 products that have brought us all together. If you have any questions or are unsure if a potential post might violate these rules, contact the Administration to ask.

Perhaps most importantly, WELCOME! 🥰
